SELECTIONS FROMJohnson Family CHINA BLOG

We started BLOGGING when we went to China, so we could have a history of our important events. This blog contains those stories, many of which are stories of faith and economic survival, and of making many friends who helped us along the way!

The company I worked for made a mistake and we had to go to Hong Kong to get another Type Z Visa for working in China. Surprise!

These experiences sure changed up the status quo of life, and we did get a free trip to Hong Kong out of it. However, it was super stressful with all of the unknown of what would happen to us if this "trick" didn't work. It would mean denial of entry and we could lose all of our stuff at our apartment in Fuxin. So we were worried. It all worked out though! I am a worry wart, but getting better, I think.
